CARISSA PARK
MINIATURE & SMALL HORSE STUD
WELCOME TO "CARISSA PARK "
"Home and progeny of Supreme and Grand Champions "
We hope you enjoy our website and that our horses give you as much joy as they give our family [Lisa , Chris , Bryce , Jordan & Eli ]. I have been around horses all my life and I came to the conclusion that it's now time to opened my own stud. As we are just starting out our stud is still small,so I will invite you to grow with us as our destiny unfolds . I found the hardest part for me was my stud prefix, I wanted something centimental to us so I took a little bit out of my husbands name and a bit out of my name [ Chris & Lisa] and came up with "CARISSA PARK". Not bad,eh ???
You know it's true what they say ; Once you are bitten by the miniature BUG ........You're GONE !!! I started off with miniature horses because a lady called Joan gave me 2 mares as a gift [one of which was in foal]. This was all new to me in alot of ways as I was only use to big horses. I knew the foal was close to arriving ,but wasn't too sure as to when and I was home all day this day and decided to go down to coles to get some shopping . On my arrival back home I saw this black thing go running past in the paddock.I thought it was my neighbours rotweiller in my paddock and went down to move it on.To my lovely SURPRISE it wasn't a dog ,but a beautiful long legged foal...it was Taj who you will come to know as 'Mystery Man' .As he grew he became one of the family and sometimes I am sure he forgot he was a horse. He's still like it to this day.Last year we decided to move to the Northern Rivers near where some of my family members lived. My sister was right into showing miniature horses,so I went along to some of the shows.This was when I decided miniatures were for me.So I started training my horse and sent to Joan about Taj's background.When I recieved this information I was taken back with all these names, he had a more extensive family tree than me !! It went back about 5 generations.There were names like Dell Tera's Paycheck,Phillamara, Fabri etc.I showed my sister from "VIP miniature horse stud" and she nearly died.She advised me to get him registered and show him,I knew he was special."That was the start and now I have moved back to Tamworth and have another 2 mares I bought from Fay Connolly from " Golden Eagle miniature horses", so I thought it was time to start showing and get a breeding program under way.In October we are also eagerly awaiting a show foal by 2006 Reserve Grand Champion " IMHA " Karlamia McClintock . So we hope we'll see you at the show's and have some fun!!We look forward to meeting you all..
